Where can I buy a figured, semi finished Winchester Buttstock
« on: January 20, 2009, 01:23:35 AM »
My nephew has a 94 with a crack at the lower buttplate screw.  The rifle was purchased used, and otherwise, it +95%.  The stock could have been repaired perfectly if done right, but noooooooo!  The previous owner must've been in a hurry.  Slap a little acraglas on it with scotch tape, and voila, it's stuck for life.  Arghhh :-\

So, weve done a serviceable refinish (quite nice, really) with tru oil, but new furniture would be better.

Any good vendors that will provide a quality, semi-figured, semi-inletted piece for a reasonable price?

Most any of the stock makers offer a replacement.
Just check around.
Also check out EBAY.
They almost always have model 94 stocks on there for sale.

Thanks Longtom, I appreciate the help.  My problem is that I do not know of companies that sell semi-inletted, semi-figured wood.  There are a few that sell straight grain, semi-inletted wood, for about $50.  Still others sell great stocks for $175 to $250.  What I can't find is a company that has "the next grade up" from basic straight grain.  Really, I'd like a 25% to 50% figure.  Wood for blanks is REALLY cheap right now, even in presentation grade, but I don't have the time or the will to take one from a chunck of wood to a finished stock.

So, WHO sells semi-figured, semi-inletted wood for a 94 for <$100?

That information would be great.

BTW, Ebay does have a few 94 stocks available most of the time, but they are usually beat up take offs, or NIB and expensive.  Same problem, nothing in the middle.

Thanks Jhawker, that's more like it.  I'd appreciate any other tips, but these guys look like they fit the bill.

Not to steal this thread, but I'm looking for a stock set for my .444 BB 94AE. Been looking around, but no one specifies if it is for a 30-30 or BB cal. ??

Anyone know a dealer who might have a fitted stock set for my rifle?

Numrich Gun Parts have or had all of the Winchester factory 94 stocks.  I bought some with great figure, factory finished with buttplate for $16.  may still have some.
